Odds and Ends

  • Farming is often very depressing, constant machinery breakdowns, fighting the weather, trying to keep animals alive and healthy, making a profit. A farmer has to be the kind of person who can deal with problems normal people never run into. Sometimes this tolerance can look like stupidity. (sometimes it FEELS like stupidity!) These FARMING JOKES make fun of the way we have to put up with our situation, and try to enjoy the simple things.
  • Songs that tell a story. Hammered dulcimer music. Irish. Celtic. What you hear at Rennaissance Festival. Sample a few of my favorite BALLADS AND SONGS. Some of these are 400 years old. (Barbara Allen) Some are bawdy. Some are drinking songs. Some are bawdy drinking songs.
